TOTTENHAM romped to a 4-0 victory over Aston Villa to advance to the fourth round of the Capital One Cup this evening.

Jermain Defoe scored twice for Spurs, with Paulinho and Nacer Chadli also on the scoresheet, but it was Lewis Holtby who gained the plaudits by being involved in all four goals.

Manchester City carried on their momentum from Sunday's derby win over Manchester United by putting five past Wigan.

Edin Dzeko opened the scoring for the Citizens before Stevan Jovetic scored either side of a Yaya Toure free-kick and Jesus Navas added a late fifth.

Fulham came from behind to beat Everton after Steven Naismith had given the Toffees a 12th minute lead, with Dimitar Berbatov and Darren Bent netting for the Cottagers.

West Ham threatened to throw away a two-goal lead against Cardiff before Ricardo Vaz Te came to Sam Allardyce's rescue with two minutes remaining.

Two goals in the opening ten minutes to Ravel Morrison and Matt Jarvis were cancelled out by Craig Noone and a first Cardiff goal from Peter Odemwingie before Vaz Te popped up late to see the Hammers advance.

Goals from Fernando Torres and Ramires were enough for Chelsea to see of Swindon 2-0 at the County Ground despite stiff resistance from Robins' keeper Mark Foderingham.

Lewis Holtby played a role in all four Tottenham goals against Aston Villa

Life after Paolo Di Canio got off to a good start for Sunderland as Emanuele Giaccherini and Valentin Roberge scored to ensure the Black Cats overcame Peterborough 2-0.

Southampton also got a 2-0 victory, seeing off Bristol City thanks to a Gaston Ramirez volley and a Jos Hooived header from a corner.

A single goal was enough to separate Hull and Huddersfield with Nick Proschwitz's strike proving decisive as the Tigers advanced.

Derby let a first half lead slip to lose 2-1 to Leicester as a Anthony Knockaert free-kick and a Danny Drinkwater backheel overturned Chris Martin's scuffed opener for the Rams.

Danny Ings showed why a number of Premier League clubs are monitoring him with both goals in a 2-1 win for Burnley against a Nottingham Forest side who had taken the lead through a superb Matt Derbyshire goal.

Watford took Norwich to extra-time, taking a two-goal lead through Javier Acuna and Marco Faraoni, but Josh Murphy got the Canaries back on track in the 77th minute before Gary Hooper grabbed an equaliser in the fifth minute of added time at the end of the 90 minutes.

And Hooper scored again with five minutes remaining in extra time to finally put the Hornets to the sword and see Chris Hughton's side progress.
